    I gotta say folks , best firestarter I use is one of the most reliable/primitive. I use cotton balls & Vaseline . Make a dozen or so & just keep em in a Ziploc bag. Easy peasy

    Oh haaaaay, your subs are climbing ;) I actually am looking into Waggle because I am so flippin paranoid of taking Willie with me. Last summer on my long car camping trip, I used my auto start to keep the car on with AC, and was really careful where I was stopping. The chances of someone doing a smash and grab at a convenience store in small town WY are slim, but they aren't zero. Any dog that can fetch a price on Craig's list is at risk, and that's basically my worst nightmare. Van plans include a dog bedroom under the bed in the back that can close up like a crate to keep her out of the windows, basically just like Trent the Traveler has for his dog Milly. I will probably be implementing that this spring for the Oregon trip. Edit: Gosh I always over post on your vids lol I make fire starters over the winter with dryer lint soaked in drizzles of bacon grease or other used cooking oil/grease stuffed in toilet paper cores. And in a pinch? Doritos. Sister and I have gotten a fire started in a rain drizzle with doritos.

      Thanks so much! It’s so fun to see this little community grow and we’re so thankful for subscribers like you that have been following our journey!!
      Having something happen to your pup on a trip would be the worst thing ever. We can’t even imagine. We know exactly what you’re talking about with Millie’s room and think that’s genius. We also absolutely love our Waggle! Not only for security but also because it’s kind a fun to spy on your dog and see what they’re up to. 😂 Let us know if you have any questions about it!
      Thanks again for being here! We appreciate you always liking and commenting. 🥰
